FAQ:

What is an ash catcher?

An ash catcher is a glass attachment that connects between your bowl and water pipe, acting as an additional filtration chamber. This innovative accessory serves two primary purposes: catching debris (preventing ash, resin, and other particulates from entering your main water pipe) and providing an extra layer of smoke filtration for smoother hits.

What are the benefits of using an ash catcher?

Using an ash catcher enhances cleanliness by preventing ash and debris from entering your main chamber, reduces the frequency of deep cleaning sessions, maintains the aesthetic appeal of your glass piece, and extends the life of your water pipe. It also delivers cooler, smoother hits through additional filtration, reduces harsh compounds, preserves flavor profiles, and minimizes water splashback during use.

What types of ash catchers are available?

Ash catchers come in various styles based on filtration:

Dry Ash Catchers: Simplest design with no water filtration, easiest to clean and maintain.

Percolator Ash Catchers: Include additional water filtration with various styles (turbine, honeycomb, tree, and matrix percolators).

They also come in different joint specifications:

Joint Sizes: 10mm (mini), 14mm (standard), and 18mm (large)

Joint Angles: 45° (ideal for beaker bongs) and 90° (perfect for straight tubes)

How do I choose the right ash catcher?

When choosing an ash catcher, consider:

Joint Compatibility: Must match your water pipe's joint size, gender (male/female), and angle.

Size and Weight: Choose a size proportional to your water pipe with balanced weight distribution.

Filtration Level: From basic dry catching to multiple percolators for maximum smoothness.

Quality Factors: Look for borosilicate glass construction, joint thickness, overall craftsmanship, and brand reputation.

How do I maintain my ash catcher?

For daily maintenance, empty ash after each session, rinse with warm water, allow to dry completely, and check joints for residue buildup. For deep cleaning, soak in specialized glass cleaner or a mixture of 91% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shake gently to remove buildup, rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely before use.

An ash catcher is a small glass attachment that sits between your bowl and your bong, trapping ash and resin before they reach the main chamber. Our ash catchers fit 14mm joints in 45° and 90° angles, and every order ships free and discreet in the USA.

How to Choose an Ash Catcher

  • Joint size: check that your bong has a 14mm female joint. The ash catcher plugs into it, and your bowl then goes into the ash catcher.
  • Angle: if the joint on your bong points upward, pick 45°. If it points straight out to the side, pick 90°. Either way, the ash catcher should stand upright once fitted.
  • Dry or percolator: a dry catcher only collects ash and is the quickest to clean. A percolator style holds a little water for an extra stage of filtration and smoother hits.
  • Weight: a heavy attachment can tip a small bong over, so choose a lighter style for mini bongs.

Why Use a Bong Ash Catcher?

A bong ash catcher keeps the main chamber and percolators cleaner for much longer, so you spend less time scrubbing and the water stays clear. It is also cheaper to replace than a whole piece. Adding an ash catcher for bong sessions you enjoy every day is one of the simplest upgrades you can make.

Ash Catcher FAQs

Is an ash catcher worth it?

Yes, if you use your bong often. It keeps the main chamber and percolators clean for longer, and a percolator ash catcher adds extra filtration for smoother hits.

Should I get a 45° or 90° ash catcher?

Look at your bong's joint. If it angles upward, choose 45°. If it sticks straight out sideways, choose 90°. The ash catcher should sit upright once attached.

Will an ash catcher fit my bong?

Our ash catchers are made for 14mm joints, the size found on most bongs. Check that your bong has a 14mm female joint, and use a 14mm bowl in the ash catcher.

How often should I clean an ash catcher?

Empty and rinse a percolator ash catcher after every session. Soak it in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt about once a week, or sooner if the water looks dirty.
